Just a quick entry from me as I enjoy my Christmas Eve with my family and loved ones. I had a couple new features come out in the past few days, and I always try and post about them here as well as my other social media outlets. It just seems like the polite thing to do when someone goes to the trouble of talking about my work!

Firstly, we have Slovak Art Magazine. They ran a lovely feature on my work in their latest issue, #13.

There is some really outstanding artwork in the magazine, so it is well worth looking at on its own and not just to see my work 😉

Second, I’m really pleased to say that one of my images won a contest sponsored by Good Light! Magazine. The theme was People and Water, so I thought one of my underwater images from my Glass Walls series with Katie would fit well. Apparently they thought so too since they chose it as the winning image!

They wrote a feature about the image which was lovely and full of comments which make me want to blush, but I’m going to share it here anyway.

And as if that weren’t enough nice things they said, there’s also a short video where the judge talks about why he chose the winning images (and he has a lovely accent as well!)

I’ll just say that the title came first, then the image, not the other way around, but it’s easy to see how you could mistake it!

So no… this is not especially Christmasy, but I have not had a moment to put this together until just now! And while I have thanked the magazines themselves, I think it’s important to promote it online as much as possible. It’s just good photography manners.

With that all said, I hope all of you who are celebrating Christmas have an absolutely WONDERFUL one tomorrow! Make sure you get to sleep early so Santa has time to leave you something nice. And of course, the most important thing of all about Christmas… I hope it is filled with people and animals you love, that you’re able to express your love to them all and they say so to you as well.

Presents are lovely. Feasts of good food are something we should be very thankful for. But the heart of the holiday is sharing love with one another. I hope you give and receive lots of it 🙂
